If it wasn’t such a tragedy, this weekend’s events in Orlando would almost seem like a terribly inappropriate joke: an Islamic terrorist opens fire with assault weapons in a gay club, killing over 50 people. We have a trifecta of flash points in...

For years now I have considered myself “libertarian-ish.” It became clear to me a while back that the increasing size and scope of government is a significant problem in our country; in fact, I believe it’s today’s fundamental political issue. In...

King Obama has decreed: biology is banned in our public schools. In doing so, His Highness is following the sacred words of the Holy Order of the Supreme Court, “At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of...
